正在进行的研究旨在提供有关 应用和自然产生的电效应的机制 场的刺激，并对最佳参数的电 用于假体和治疗装置的刺激。 这一研究领域 应该可以直接应用于电场问题 对癫痫发作发展的影响。 几 正在使用复杂的技术，包括：体外培养;转脑 切片制备、电流密度分析和计算机模型 神经细胞和神经网络来完成研究任务。

Research is underway that is designed to provide information on the mechanisms of the effects of applied and naturally generated electrical fields on the stimulation, and on the optimal parameters of electrical stimulation for prosthetic and therapeutic devices. This research area should have direct application to problems concerning electric field effects on the development of seizures in epilepsy. Several sophisticated techniques are being used, including ;itin vitro;ro brain slice preparations, current density analysis, and computer models of nerve cells and neural networks, to accomplish the research tasks.
